Maybe one of the devs took the ferry to Maine????

Same game that has you go to Mount Vernon, which is in the Hudson River Valley for reasons, and assassinate George Washington’s brother Lawrence. If I win the lottery I will personally finance a AAA remake so many missed opportunities.

If they had maybe they would have taken Quebec, just saying

Now we’re cookin with gas

Don’t invade Quebec, take Halifax from the landward side, plz hire me George Washington for more great battle tips

My middle name is Lunn but I accept this as some kind of perverse Lund Washington thing

Secret third thing. He’s broadly representative of the white Anglo population of the colony during the AmRev and to me represents a road not traveled — given how things panned out he’s prob a New Englander but I can easily imagine a timeline where he’s the most Nova Scotian guy of all time.

My favorite thing in the recent season is that one of the central plot points is “Reacher meets an even LARGER man”

Ahahahahahahahaha

The show Reacher is fun because it’s like Littlest Hobo but instead of a dog it’s a very large man who does extrajudicial murder

I’m not a good sports fan but I love to see Philly win, GO BIRDS

Obsessed with metro rewind (although I wish it also somehow too into account my heavy Fairfax connector bus use too!)

Sorry I was late to the meeting I was reading about camel evolution

Coming home after a really lovely work trip to Copenhagen (which I will post more about later) but most importantly I have learned that the company that made the vile 10% beer my friends and I drank in college also makes the most popular soft drink in Denmark

I just suggested that Fahrenheit is best understood as the lifespan of George Washington (32 being freezing and anything above 99 being inhumanely hot) and my colleagues seem confused for some strange reason.

A crucial thing to understand about my relationship to the holidays is growing up we only had 2 xmas albums: a 3 CD set mom bought at Costco (3rd CD was Gregorian chant), and A Very Rosie Christmas Part 2. Join me in celebration with this classic hymn.

I keep accidentally introducing people to 45 year old teen bio hacker Bryan Johnson and I’m so, so sorry

Old law and order I am trying to not be at work leave me alone

Watching an episode of Law and Order at least partially based on the Forbes Smiley map thefts and they keep showing 18th century maps and saying wrong things about them and I need to know who to sue for emotional damages

I think it's uniquely funny to Canadians haha. Sadly I doubt that was the intention in 18th century Connecticut but who knows?

We're hiring a Digital Records Archivist to help manage our born-digital collections at the Library and across the Mount Vernon estate. Share widely and apply below!

I consider myself a connoisseur of weird New England names but I just found “Notwithstanding Griswold” and I may die laughing

My new hobby is cheating at the NYT crossword puzzles

Controversial but my main problem with the Napoleon movie is that Joaquin Phoenix is 49 the entire time
